SBG’s Karl Tanswell & ‘Dynamic Quality’

One of my first black belts, the third I awarded, is Karl Tanswell. Karl is an icon in British Martial Arts. With a similar background as myself, in JKD Concepts and boxing, Karl and I immediately hit it off when we first met almost 16 years ago.streaming movie Hotel de Grote L

Since that time Karl has become one of the UK’s first home grown BJJ black belts, and one of its most successful MMA coaches. SBG Manchester, Karl’s main academy, is home to TUF finalist – Saul Rogers, world champion – Martin Stapleton, and many more phenomenal MMA and BJJ athletes.

He’s also given out five of his own BJJ black belts, Casey Jones, Glyn Powditch, Chris Coltrane, Matt Inman, and UFC fighter – Jason Tan.
